I think the most incredible part of being homeschooled is the part where parents are putting that much time and attention to their children. That’s what I got out of my mom homeschooling me, so much love, time, and attention. You go mama.
I love your comment! So touched to know that this is how being homeschooled impacted you. I grew up in a private school and always had a tutor from school (not motivating and impersonal most of the time). Mom wasn’t hands on at all as she was the breadwinner. It’s a blessing to be taught by your own mom especially if it was done with so much love and care. I plan to home school my 2 y.o sometime soon so hoping to gather some good resources for future reference. God bless! -Ivy 💛
I just can’t get enough of your content. As a single mother who has to work full time, this is the life I pray for and dream of. I’m just so grateful to see it’s possible. I know God has a plan and I’m trusting it. Hopeful that a life like this is still in his plan for me ❤
Halfway through watching this and I just can’t stop thinking how cool it is that your kids are blessed with a mama as thoughtful and filled with ingenuity as you are!
As A Traditional Christian Homesteading, Homemaking, Homeschooling Mother, I Loved This! ♥️🤗🙌🏼🙏 I also LOVE your classroom ♥😍🤗 it's darling 😍🤭♥️ and you did an absolutely AMAZING job! 😉💯🤗 Unfortunately a lot of parents fall under the Stigma and Doom and Gloom of feeling inadequate and unqualified to teach their own children, especially when it comes to proper education and the Indoctrination we've all had on school systems and public and/or private school educations, etc.. I too, felt I was inadequate and didn't have the qualifications to homeschool. I felt I didn't have what it took, and I even graduated from high school and went to college for Business Management and Business Administration and Still felt this way lol, Until I just gave it to The LORD GOD and followed HIS guidance and just did the next right best thing and gave it my all. I've been homeschooling for 4 years now and I love it. There is absolutely NOBODY Better.. NOR More Adequate.. NOR More Qualified To Teach Children than their Own Parents! I love teachers and have a great deal of respect and admiration for them, however, I do NOT like NOR agree with the Educational Systems and Their Corruption and their Insane Ideologies and Indoctrination.

I'm sorry this is so long, BUT, My point is, we the parents, teach our children so so very much and on a daily basis too, even without realizing just how much we actually do infact teach them, and so much more. It's so much MORE than a school teaches them and MORE than a school is even equipped to teach them. We can give our children the attention, the time and the love that they NEED and that they deserve, way MORE so than a teacher can.

I’ve been a silent viewer for years now (before the first bug 💞), and I just felt inclined to say something today. Although I am not a mother or religious by any means, I have found so much peace from your channel. I find you so strong, intuitive, and someone I look up to when it comes to a worldly outlook. I’m only 22 and just moved into my first home, and you inspire me to be the best I can be for myself and those I love. Much love!
That is excellent. I say yes to this type of homeschooling. I am pleased when I listen to and read about parents who decide to take schooling into their own hands, instead of outsourcing their responsibilities to an institution that specialises in dividing people, bullying, interested only in top scores and top marks, and creating employees for a Job market that will make too many people unemployment and redundant
In mainstream schooling when a teacher or education assessor critises how a student speaks English, this has proven to me that it is not the student to blame. Parents have to understand that their kid is being sifted oout or separated , and that teacher and that assessor don't really know the English language beyond their qualifications and their chosen subculture.
I love seeing this little glimpse into your homeschool! I was homeschooled and I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's such a blessing, and makes me so happy to see more people starting their own homeschool journey!! Lovely outfit, btw 🥰
It's always so interesting seeing how others homeschool. I've been homeschooling since my 14 year old was 7, I HS him and his 3 younger sisters now too. We did no formal lessons until 7 , in the early years they learn so much just from playing, if we did any lessons it was things like the days of the week song like you did. We don't have a designated school room, because my kids learn all over the house. We are very relaxed homeschoolers and I take advantage of being in the comfort of home, we do the majority of our learning with unit studies, there are some cool ones for preschoolers too.
I'm only 13 and I love your videos! you are my role model foe when I'm older! if I do have kids I want to rise them like you are! you are an amazing mum! x
Good job mama! I have been homeschooling my 6 kids for 16 years (2 graduated) and I can tell you that you are doing great. You can do this. I am still changing routine, curriculum and teaching as we go year after year. There is easier seasons than other but with the support of your community, your family and other homeschool moms, it helps.
Milena you are a great example of a mom who can balance between so many things in a mom life. Thank you for being an inspiration You are one of the must to watch channels on my subscription list. Love You and wish you all the best always
This is the sweetest thing🥺 makes me excited for when I have children,I’ve always loved the idea of homeschooling and this just showed me exactly why I wanted to. I love the way you explained it when you said it allows you to really see the strengths and weaknesses and to accommodate both. Love this🤍
As an elementary school teacher, some of the things you say about school really hurts my heart. I know public school isn’t for everyone, but I think some of your preconceptions aren’t necessarily accurate to a real life classroom (or at least in my district). On the flip side, you’re doing a lot of great homeschool work for kids their age. One thing I would 100% add for yourself is some sort of progress monitoring. This way you can take those strengths and weaknesses you mentioned and track their growth. It also helps you better prepare what material or content matter to work on.
You mentioned monitoring system , here’s the thing , I am a homeschool mom and I discovered a great disadvantage of having one on one education is that it minimizes the necessity of keeping score through test and quizzes because you can visually and consistently see how much the child is “mastering” a skill . I simply go over a lesson a few times if my gut tells me my child is struggling
Hi milena! I've been praying to the Lord so much recently! We just got married and the photographer isn't sending us ANY ceremony photos because it isn't up to her quality standards. We are so heartbroken and devastated. I have asked for a refund and to be able to see the photos, and was told no. I recently reached out to a lawyer and we are going to seek legal action. I've given this to the Lord and I just want to keep fighting for my pictures & our special day. 💗
That seems like a weird reason to not send any photos from your ceremony. Did you have any attendees who snapped a few to remember that moment? We had an uncle take our photos and he was alright, but I honestly used more of the iPhone photos from our guests from the day. I loved the different angles and points of view from them.
Wow that is devastating! I am so sorry! I’m someone who regularly looks back at photos because I love how good memories make me feel. I couldn’t imagine not having ANY on my wedding day! Going to say a prayer for y’all right now!
This is absolutely an inspiration!! I have been teaching for 3 years (in both 1st grade and Kindergarten), and I am so impressed with the amount of patience and tenderness you show to your babies during homeschooling. You can see and hear just how excited and engaged they are with you and the material. I love this!! Keep rocking momma!!! This is not an easy feat but somehow you make it look so effortless!!! You’re doing excellent!! I may or may not be considering homeschooling my baby now😂
Love this!! I was homeschooled & I have a 3, 2, & 2 week old & am homeschooling as well! You’re so right, Homeschool is not supposed to look like public school. It’s what works for your family! You’re doing so great! 🫶🏼
This is so inspiring, sweet and incredible !! A mommy of littles 1 and 3 years old , doing my research, getting inspiration as I plan to homeschool beginning with tot school ! Grateful for your page
With my 6 yr old, I've noticed that on some things we have to break it down into smaller pieces in math and use repetition, for instance, when we were learning how to tell time. Its so wonderful to teach our kids to learn and see them grasp new things. Wonderful job!
I'm not a mom yet (hopefully will be someday if it's the Lord's plan) but I want so badly to homeschool my kids. I went to a private school for preschool-8th grade, then a public school for 1 1/2, and now i have been in an online school for a year. Safe to say I've experienced it all, and I just love your setup and your routine!
Love! I homeschool my 7,4, and almost 2 year old while working from home full time. I love seeing how others school and picking up little things we can add or change in our home ❤
Great job Milena!!! Learning as we go is what parenting is all about! ❤️❤️ I have been homeschooling for about two years and I am so thankful for how it has blessed our family!! 🙏🏼❤️ So happy you are enjoying it and May God continue to bless your homeschool journey! 🙏🏼❤️
I had great success with H.E I was solely responsible the ex being a plumber. I was the one who had the ability to do it and I loved it and it worked with success beyond belief.
I love the traditional, minimalistic approach you have going on. Kids don’t have to be overstimulated and that’s the problem with today. My daughter will be in Kindergarten this fall and this will be my first official homeschool year under the regulations of the state, but in reality I’ve been homeschooling my babygirl since she was 2.5/3 years old.
This was so helpful and makes me excited to homeschool our kiddos for at least the first couple years! I honestly used to never see myself homeschooling my kids but videos like these have completely changed my perspective 🤎
Thank you Milena for sharing your experience. Please keep on updating us, I would love to know what are the pros and cons of homeschooling and how you guys manage your time (work, homeschool, family)
I been looking for a nice school room/ playroom set up and love how you explained it with having multiples and separation. Will use a lot of your tips for our official first year 2024 (4 year old and 2 year old)
Keep sharing your story mama! Like you said, there's a million different ways to homeschool, but the more people share, the more ideas we can all learn from!
Love this tour of your classroom I am a beginner homeschool Mom also. This is off topic but where did you find your skirt please, I am looking for skirts that length and style.
I loved this video!! I was homeschooled from 5th-12th and loved it!! My Mom, sister, and I were so close because we were together all the time and I wouldn’t have traded that for anything. My daughter is only two, but she is ready to start homeschooling to some degree like Ari probably in January. So this video helped a ton with curriculum and activities. Thank you for sharing!! ❤
I have never thought of homeschooling my 3 yr old, but this Just inspired me to def start doing that! Sadly I am working 4 days a week, but I can for Sure Scratch Out some time every day, and on the Weekend we have more time. This Looks so lovely ! 😍
Milena, I loved this video so much. I pray that homeschool will give you and your children many blessings! I feel that homeschool has a negative connotation sometimes and this video just shows a beautiful side of it. Thank you for being you and putting out content that can help so many. You are giving a new or different perspective that people maybe have never thought about. I hope you and your family has a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 ❤
I'm in California and am excited about homeschooling and also VERY nervous at the same time! I personally had a hard time with public school, I didn't learn the same as everyone else. Kids deserve to learn in the way that works best for them! Thank you for sharing and giving me (much needed) inspo!
For a long time I loooved the idea of having a school room and library. Now because of how the world is, I feel the need to homeschool. My kids are older, and so idk 🤷🏻♀️ . I worry I may bite off more than I chew. But this is very motivating! Really like your school room, so pretty 😊
We use the good and the beautiful too! It’s wonderful. This is my second year homeschooling. I have one in first grade, one in kindergarten and I have a newborn now so things are always changing in how we work but that’s the beauty of it! Thanks for sharing, God bless. ❤️
TGATB is Mormon, although they make the curriculum non denominational 🥰 and they do go to up to high school besides math! We love them so much! Great choice mama! You are doing amazing and inspiring! Please do more homeschool videos ❤
This was so precious 🥲🥰 props to you for homeschooling your children. They will be thankful you did this for them. Its clear you love them so much💜 i was bullied bad in highschool and my mom offered to home school me, i wish i took that offer❤️lots of love xo
I am a homeschool parent of 4 5 and under loved your video and we do use the good and the beautiful but pre k was not our favorite both my 3 and 5 year old are reading but it's because we only stuck to letter sounds until they could do cvc then we introduce letter names I found that my 3 yo was getting confused with letter sounds at beginning since his schooling had been mainly overhearing what my older daughter did so he kept struggling with cvc at the beginning we do explode the code and jady a has a great course on homeschooling it really helped me navigate in my homeschool
I'm so happy to see you using The good and the beautiful! My son is in 1st grade.. we've been using this curriculum since preschool. He is very smart (I know every parent says this 😂) but he could read in preschool. He's reading at a 2nd-3rd grade level now. And he loves to learn. The good and the beautiful has been perfect for him. My second son is 3 and is doing the preschool now too. 😊
we are doing the same curriculum too! it’s going so well & my daughter is thriving. she looks forward to school every day & asks for more when we stop🤎
I was homeschooled till my freshman year of high school and loved every minute!🤍 So thankful my mom did that for me and my siblings and I hope to do that for my own children one day!
I’ve been watching you for years and I now have a 2 1/2 year old and my dream parenting is your parenting! You are so patient and kind to your kids! I look up to you so much!
Your the first video I've came across where I love how you homeschool I am homeschooling my 4 year old and 2 year old they are great with learning we are doing a homeschool set up for them I'll be sure to follow and get some tips
Also, 2 great books are Edith Schaffer's What is a Family and Elisabeth Elliot's The Shaping of a Christian Family. Specifically for homeschool would be For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaffer MacAulay. It's a classic.
Hi Milena…I don’t have any children but I quickly clicked on this video. I LOVED watching this. It was sO cute. Your daughter is absolutely adorable while doing her schooling. You are doing a great job teaching. ❤
Hi from another preK homeschooling mom! My daughter is newly 4 and what we’ve been doing is a bit less structured than what you are - but I love this video and it’s giving me lots of ideas! I also do day of the week, month and number & weather. But other than that we don’t do anything but play and whatever arts and crafts she wants. I am using the book “teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons” and she’s on lesson 50 and doing so well! I suggest it once you get to that step if you’re looking for something. So many friends have used it and everyone says it works every time! I’m really conflicted about whether to start kindergarten with her next year or do another year of preK (she’ll be 5 at the end of September). I’m guessing you’ll do 2 years of preK with Alethea? Or will you do kindergarten next year?
Obviously I don’t know you and your family and where your daughter is developmentally, but I also have a late September birthday and my mom kept me back a year. Now being in college I am FOREVER thankful she did that, and I love being on the older end of my peers. Leaving home at 18 almost 19 was SOOO much easier than if I had been 17 and I am so thankful for that extra year at home with my family. Just my thoughts!
@@kaitlyn.j this is really helpful, thank you!! I really am torn so hearing your experience helps. I wonder about whether she'd like to be older or younger than her peers and I can't really ask her and get a legit answer because she won't know either! lol
I follow you on instagram and glad i came across this video on UA-cam. Feeling a bit lost and doubting myself today on the homeschool front and wondering if I'm doing enough or capable... we don't have enough money for most resources so a lot of the times I'm writing exercises myself. Just had a new baby too, so there's that. Overwhelming... your video helps me to regain focus and remember my why as well as inspire ideas for creating a neutral but purposeful homeschool environment so Thank you.
Thank you so much for doing this video on homeschooling!! It’s so helpful for me to not feel intimidated on homeschooling my little ones. I am considering do this full time in the future as they get older, but so nervous about it. More more videos like this please!
Your video is a lifesaver. I admire your way of homeschooling. In Japan, we do not have enough English education systems to build. Therefore, I have been struggling with my emotions every day and did not know the most optimal approach for kids. I felt massive pressure for homeschooling how to organize room, materials, toys, tablets, and flashcards. Moreover, I did not know how to introduce English vocabulary to kids. Your video taught me countless useful pieces of knowledge on how to set up homeschooling and English education. Much Appreciated. ♡
Thank you so much for sharing! I plan to homeschool my 3 year old with the Good and the Beautiful so this was so helpful to see and made me excited to get started.
im always to lazy to comment but man man man you are such a great mom and you inspire me so much. i have so much respect for your patience with the kids. they are so lucky 😍 please make more homeschool content.
Okay I love this so much! Currently my little one is 18 months old but I know I’m going to homeschool and have been researching for the past few weeks. I’m so excited and as a former public school elementary teacher.. I adore your enthusiasm when teaching your little ones! You’re doing a great job and I hope you do more homeschool videos.
I think it’s nice to share whatever stage you’re at. I felt the same way about sharing because we’ve only been doing it for a few years but you never know who it’s going to help. We do homeschool during nap too because we have young toddlers and it can be hard with all 4 kids 🫠
Such a great video! I love your excitement for teaching your kids and being with them! Great job mama! Also wonderful verse to have in the video! ❤️🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love your set up! We use the good and the beautiful too. My son just finished the preschool course book. I love that your sharing your homeschool journey. We've been using the good and the beautiful for 3 years now and it's been a great curriculum for all my kids :) abraços do Canada 🇨🇦
Excited for this video! I have a 3 yr old & a 6 mo old and trying to figure out schooling has been a very difficult decision for us! I’m intrigued by homeschool just not sure I could do it!
I strongly suggest looking into the Montessori method. Ashley's channel was so good i just never thought I'd have the option to home education here in the uk which is actually legal and easy.
Cute set up! Very rich in information! The only thing I’d suggest (if you made the alphabet chart) is to change the /e/ to something like edge rather than elephant because it can be confusing to kids because it has the letter “L” in the name. Also /x/ to something like fox because x spells its sound predominantly at the end of words.
Love it!! I have been so anti-homeschooling for my own child because I didn’t really enjoy my experience of it growing up. Your video however was so inspiring. I’m keen to incorporate some of these things with my 3yr old soon, and I live your reasons behind why you are doing this. You are giving your kids such a great gift
For me and my family, we personally would like to send our kids to public/private schools, however… I do want to homeschool them to some degree. My oldest is 1 1/2, second is 6 months. So it’s early but I’m planning and reading a lot on how to teach my babes (as time goes on) as much as I can that is to their level and comfortability. This was helpful in some ways, thank you. 😊
I legit love this so much 😊I’m in the same boat with a four month old girl and 2.5 year old boy and almost 4 year old girl in February. I was just praying about this and we’ve stopped and started homeschooling but all this pressure to perform I’ve just felt so stuck so thsi was really nice as a reminder
I absolutely loved this video. I have a 13 month old daughter and another daughter on the way. I want to start early, plus I prepare way in advance. I’m looking to start with basics next school year for my oldest daughter & bringing in my youngest as she’s old enough!
I love that homeschooling is an option. In Germany, preschool is not mandatory, but you have to put them into a school 1st grade the latest. Homeschooling is not allowed. It doesn't mean that I would homeschool, but I like that you have the choice ❤️
I think the most incredible part of being homeschooled is the part where parents are putting that much time and attention to their children. That’s what I got out of my mom homeschooling me, so much love, time, and attention. You go mama.
I love your comment! So touched to know that this is how being homeschooled impacted you.

Homeschooling is such a blessing and gift.
Fact
I just can’t get enough of your content. As a single mother who has to work full time, this is the life I pray for and dream of. I’m just so grateful to see it’s possible. I know God has a plan and I’m trusting it. Hopeful that a life like this is still in his plan for me ❤
Ameen! I pray your prayers are answered,
how is life going?
Halfway through watching this and I just can’t stop thinking how cool it is that your kids are blessed with a mama as thoughtful and filled with ingenuity as you are!
As A Traditional Christian Homesteading, Homemaking, Homeschooling Mother, I Loved This! ♥️🤗🙌🏼🙏
I also LOVE your classroom ♥😍🤗 it's darling 😍🤭♥️ and you did an absolutely AMAZING job! 😉💯🤗
Unfortunately a lot of parents fall under the Stigma and Doom and Gloom of feeling inadequate and unqualified to teach their own children, especially when it comes to proper education and the Indoctrination we've all had on school systems and public and/or private school educations, etc..
I too, felt I was inadequate and didn't have the qualifications to homeschool.

I've been homeschooling for 4 years now and I love it.
There is absolutely NOBODY Better.. NOR More Adequate.. NOR More Qualified To Teach Children than their Own Parents!
I love teachers and have a great deal of respect and admiration for them, however, I do NOT like NOR agree with the Educational Systems and Their Corruption and their Insane Ideologies and Indoctrination.
It's NOT The Teachers, It's The Corrupt (and Infiltrated) Educational Systems!

I’m not a mom at all but I’m sooo looking forward to learning how you homeschool! Yours such an inspiration! I look up to you so much!! 💕
so sweet - thank you for being here 🤍
Same here Abigail!!
I’m interested in what sensory activities you do with your two year old! Thanks! -mom of a 1 year old
That is excellent. I say yes to this type of homeschooling.

We had an uncle take our photos and he was alright, but I honestly used more of the iPhone photos from our guests from the day. I loved the different angles and points of view from them.
@@BSmeansBlueSalad we had an unplugged ceremony!😭
Wow that is devastating! I am so sorry! I’m someone who regularly looks back at photos because I love how good memories make me feel. I couldn’t imagine not having ANY on my wedding day! Going to say a prayer for y’all right now!
Im so sorry that happened to you ! No refund ???? I hope hes being honest about the reasoning
She probably just had a camera drive fail and lost them all
This is absolutely an inspiration!! I have been teaching for 3 years (in both 1st grade and Kindergarten), and I am so impressed with the amount of patience and tenderness you show to your babies during homeschooling. You can see and hear just how excited and engaged they are with you and the material. I love this!! Keep rocking momma!!! This is not an easy feat but somehow you make it look so effortless!!! You’re doing excellent!! I may or may not be considering homeschooling my baby now😂
Love this!! I was homeschooled & I have a 3, 2, & 2 week old & am homeschooling as well! You’re so right, Homeschool is not supposed to look like public school. It’s what works for your family! You’re doing so great! 🫶🏼
This is so inspiring, sweet and incredible !! A mommy of littles 1 and 3 years old , doing my research, getting inspiration as I plan to homeschool beginning with tot school ! Grateful for your page
With my 6 yr old, I've noticed that on some things we have to break it down into smaller pieces in math and use repetition, for instance, when we were learning how to tell time.
Its so wonderful to teach our kids to learn and see them grasp new things.
Wonderful job!
I'm not a mom yet (hopefully will be someday if it's the Lord's plan) but I want so badly to homeschool my kids. I went to a private school for preschool-8th grade, then a public school for 1 1/2, and now i have been in an online school for a year. Safe to say I've experienced it all, and I just love your setup and your routine!
Love! I homeschool my 7,4, and almost 2 year old while working from home full time. I love seeing how others school and picking up little things we can add or change in our home ❤
how do you work full time from home AND homeschool 3 kids?! does someone watch the kids whilst you work? I couldn't work from home with one toddler!
I am trying to transfer to work from home in the future can you please if possible share how you were able to do both full time
She is Soooo smart as a 3 year old! She’s going to be very bright! That’s the best part of being homeschooled!
i'm not even married yet but i feel so much joy watching this and I want to follow your example! so heart warming seeing alethea interacting so much
Great job Milena!!! Learning as we go is what parenting is all about! ❤️❤️ I have been homeschooling for about two years and I am so thankful for how it has blessed our family!! 🙏🏼❤️ So happy you are enjoying it and May God continue to bless your homeschool journey! 🙏🏼❤️
yes!! im learning so much from teaching them, it's such a sweet reward 🤎 God bless you mama!
I had great success with H.E
I was solely responsible the ex being a plumber.
I was the one who had the ability to do it and I loved it and it worked with success beyond belief.
I love the traditional, minimalistic approach you have going on. Kids don’t have to be overstimulated and that’s the problem with today. My daughter will be in Kindergarten this fall and this will be my first official homeschool year under the regulations of the state, but in reality I’ve been homeschooling my babygirl since she was 2.5/3 years old.
This was so helpful and makes me excited to homeschool our kiddos for at least the first couple years! I honestly used to never see myself homeschooling my kids but videos like these have completely changed my perspective 🤎
SHE IS SO STINKING SMART!!! The months, the verse, just… 🤯
omg my heart 🥹 alethea singing the months on her own just so pure and adorable 🎶decembeeerrr 👏🏼🥰
Thank you Milena for sharing your experience. Please keep on updating us, I would love to know what are the pros and cons of homeschooling and how you guys manage your time (work, homeschool, family)
I been looking for a nice school room/ playroom set up and love how you explained it with having multiples and separation. Will use a lot of your tips for our official first year 2024 (4 year old and 2 year old)
Your little girl is so bright and intelligent !! She’s only 3 and knows her letters and numbers?! Amazing job mama
Keep sharing your story mama! Like you said, there's a million different ways to homeschool, but the more people share, the more ideas we can all learn from!
I love that you showed the example homeschooling at the end! Very lovely that you are doing this for your little ones 💕
Love this tour of your classroom I am a beginner homeschool Mom also. This is off topic but where did you find your skirt please, I am looking for skirts that length and style.
I'm a preschool teacher with 21 students. I love this. I so wish I could teach the children prayers and Bible verses in my public school.
I’m watching this with my. 1.5 year old and when you did the days of the week we also sing it like that and he was snapping along
I don’t have kids yet but I’m definitely considering homeschool-love that you are sharing about this
I loved this video!! I was homeschooled from 5th-12th and loved it!! My Mom, sister, and I were so close because we were together all the time and I wouldn’t have traded that for anything. My daughter is only two, but she is ready to start homeschooling to some degree like Ari probably in January. So this video helped a ton with curriculum and activities. Thank you for sharing!! ❤
I have never thought of homeschooling my 3 yr old, but this Just inspired me to def start doing that! Sadly I am working 4 days a week, but I can for Sure Scratch Out some time every day, and on the Weekend we have more time. This Looks so lovely ! 😍
Milena, I loved this video so much. I pray that homeschool will give you and your children many blessings!
I feel that homeschool has a negative connotation sometimes and this video just shows a beautiful side of it. Thank you for being you and putting out content that can help so many. You are giving a new or different perspective that people maybe have never thought about.
I hope you and your family has a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 ❤
I'm in California and am excited about homeschooling and also VERY nervous at the same time! I personally had a hard time with public school, I didn't learn the same as everyone else. Kids deserve to learn in the way that works best for them! Thank you for sharing and giving me (much needed) inspo!
I am 20 yers old, from Brazil, amazing video about homeschooling
For a long time I loooved the idea of having a school room and library. Now because of how the world is, I feel the need to homeschool. My kids are older, and so idk 🤷🏻♀️ . I worry I may bite off more than I chew. But this is very motivating! Really like your school room, so pretty 😊
Don’t homeschool
Amazing parents raising amazing kids while doing an amazing job and serving an amazing Lord! Hugs and love!

Alethea is just adorable 🥹
We use the good and the beautiful too! It’s wonderful. This is my second year homeschooling. I have one in first grade, one in kindergarten and I have a newborn now so things are always changing in how we work but that’s the beauty of it! Thanks for sharing, God bless. ❤️
TGATB is Mormon, although they make the curriculum non denominational 🥰 and they do go to up to high school besides math! We love them so much! Great choice mama! You are doing amazing and inspiring! Please do more homeschool videos ❤
This was so precious 🥲🥰 props to you for homeschooling your children. They will be thankful you did this for them. Its clear you love them so much💜 i was bullied bad in highschool and my mom offered to home school me, i wish i took that offer❤️lots of love xo
Thank you for this! My oldest is 2 and I’m back and forth on homeschooling and this gave me courage and made me lean towards homeschooling ❤
As someone who plans on being a mom watching your videos gives me hope ive always said that i would homeschool my furure children !
I am a homeschool parent of 4 5 and under loved your video and we do use the good and the beautiful but pre k was not our favorite both my 3 and 5 year old are reading but it's because we only stuck to letter sounds until they could do cvc then we introduce letter names I found that my 3 yo was getting confused with letter sounds at beginning since his schooling had been mainly overhearing what my older daughter did so he kept struggling with cvc at the beginning we do explode the code and jady a has a great course on homeschooling it really helped me navigate in my homeschool
I'm so happy to see you using The good and the beautiful! My son is in 1st grade.. we've been using this curriculum since preschool. He is very smart (I know every parent says this 😂) but he could read in preschool. He's reading at a 2nd-3rd grade level now. And he loves to learn. The good and the beautiful has been perfect for him. My second son is 3 and is doing the preschool now too. 😊
LOVE your outfit!! You’re rockin the modesty fashion girl! Keep it up! ❤️
we are doing the same curriculum too! it’s going so well & my daughter is thriving. she looks forward to school every day & asks for more when we stop🤎
Thank you for being so open and honest about your daily routine. I am planning on homeschooling and it was so helpful!
I was homeschooled till my freshman year of high school and loved every minute!🤍 So thankful my mom did that for me and my siblings and I hope to do that for my own children one day!
I’ve been watching you for years and I now have a 2 1/2 year old and my dream parenting is your parenting! You are so patient and kind to your kids! I look up to you so much!
As a teacher and a former homeschooled kid, I love this!
I’m starting homeschool with my toddler next year and I’m trying to learn as much as possible before then so thank you for this! I’d love more!🖤
I love homeschooling my children, currently have a 4th grader & a little almost 2 year old tot 🥹
Just a tip, use golf sized pencils, broken pencil/crayons in order to facilitate a functional tripod grasp for those little hands!
Your the first video I've came across where I love how you homeschool I am homeschooling my 4 year old and 2 year old they are great with learning we are doing a homeschool set up for them I'll be sure to follow and get some tips
i wish i was able to home school my kids 😩 love this set up! you’re an amazing mom! ❤
Also, 2 great books are Edith Schaffer's What is a Family and Elisabeth Elliot's The Shaping of a Christian Family. Specifically for homeschool would be For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaffer MacAulay. It's a classic.
Hi Milena…I don’t have any children but I quickly clicked on this video. I LOVED watching this. It was sO cute. Your daughter is absolutely adorable while doing her schooling. You are doing a great job teaching. ❤
Hi from another preK homeschooling mom! My daughter is newly 4 and what we’ve been doing is a bit less structured than what you are - but I love this video and it’s giving me lots of ideas!
I also do day of the week, month and number & weather. But other than that we don’t do anything but play and whatever arts and crafts she wants. I am using the book “teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons” and she’s on lesson 50 and doing so well! I suggest it once you get to that step if you’re looking for something. So many friends have used it and everyone says it works every time!
I’m really conflicted about whether to start kindergarten with her next year or do another year of preK (she’ll be 5 at the end of September). I’m guessing you’ll do 2 years of preK with Alethea? Or will you do kindergarten next year?
Obviously I don’t know you and your family and where your daughter is developmentally, but I also have a late September birthday and my mom kept me back a year. Now being in college I am FOREVER thankful she did that, and I love being on the older end of my peers. Leaving home at 18 almost 19 was SOOO much easier than if I had been 17 and I am so thankful for that extra year at home with my family. Just my thoughts!
@@kaitlyn.j this is really helpful, thank you!! I really am torn so hearing your experience helps. I wonder about whether she'd like to be older or younger than her peers and I can't really ask her and get a legit answer because she won't know either! lol
Yes!!! I’ve been looking forward to this video 🥰 as a sahm and wife i aspire to homeschool thank you so much ❤
I follow you on instagram and glad i came across this video on UA-cam. Feeling a bit lost and doubting myself today on the homeschool front and wondering if I'm doing enough or capable... we don't have enough money for most resources so a lot of the times I'm writing exercises myself. Just had a new baby too, so there's that. Overwhelming... your video helps me to regain focus and remember my why as well as inspire ideas for creating a neutral but purposeful homeschool environment so Thank you.
Your daughter is so cute! I love her little voice!! ❤
Beautiful job! Every detail is so intentional and sweet.
Thank you so much for doing this video on homeschooling!! It’s so helpful for me to not feel intimidated on homeschooling my little ones. I am considering do this full time in the future as they get older, but so nervous about it. More more videos like this please!
Your video is a lifesaver. I admire your way of homeschooling. In Japan, we do not have enough English education systems to build. Therefore, I have been struggling with my emotions every day and did not know the most optimal approach for kids. I felt massive pressure for homeschooling how to organize room, materials, toys, tablets, and flashcards. Moreover, I did not know how to introduce English vocabulary to kids. Your video taught me countless useful pieces of knowledge on how to set up homeschooling and English education. Much Appreciated. ♡
You're an incredible mom, Milena!! Inspired by your patience and love.
Thank you so much for sharing! I plan to homeschool my 3 year old with the Good and the Beautiful so this was so helpful to see and made me excited to get started.
Alethea singing the months was the most wholesome thing🥹🥹🥹
im always to lazy to comment but man man man you are such a great mom and you inspire me so much. i have so much respect for your patience with the kids. they are so lucky 😍 please make more homeschool content.
This makes me sooo excited to homeschool. Thank you for sharing!
Okay I love this so much! Currently my little one is 18 months old but I know I’m going to homeschool and have been researching for the past few weeks. I’m so excited and as a former public school elementary teacher.. I adore your enthusiasm when teaching your little ones! You’re doing a great job and I hope you do more homeschool videos.
I think it’s nice to share whatever stage you’re at. I felt the same way about sharing because we’ve only been doing it for a few years but you never know who it’s going to help. We do homeschool during nap too because we have young toddlers and it can be hard with all 4 kids 🫠
Alethea is so cute and smart🤗 her voice and intelligence reminds me of little Matilda
Such a great video! I love your excitement for teaching your kids and being with them! Great job mama! Also wonderful verse to have in the video! ❤️🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hearing tookie sing the song of the months was the cutest thing ever🥹🥰
I love it! Keep homeschooling, I started when mine were in kindergarten and preschool and it's the best decision I ever made! 💕
I love your set up! We use the good and the beautiful too. My son just finished the preschool course book. I love that your sharing your homeschool journey. We've been using the good and the beautiful for 3 years now and it's been a great curriculum for all my kids :) abraços do Canada 🇨🇦
Excited for this video! I have a 3 yr old & a 6 mo old and trying to figure out schooling has been a very difficult decision for us! I’m intrigued by homeschool just not sure I could do it!
You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you...
I strongly suggest looking into the Montessori method. Ashley's channel was so good i just never thought I'd have the option to home education here in the uk which is actually legal and easy.
Thank you so much for sharing!!! Im so back and fourth with homeschooling!! This is helpful to see “real life”
I hope you’re having a great day Milena! Sending love from Nashville! 🤍🌅
so sweet 🥹 God bless you!!
Cute set up! Very rich in information! The only thing I’d suggest (if you made the alphabet chart) is to change the /e/ to something like edge rather than elephant because it can be confusing to kids because it has the letter “L” in the name. Also /x/ to something like fox because x spells its sound predominantly at the end of words.
Love it!! I have been so anti-homeschooling for my own child because I didn’t really enjoy my experience of it growing up. Your video however was so inspiring. I’m keen to incorporate some of these things with my 3yr old soon, and I live your reasons behind why you are doing this. You are giving your kids such a great gift
I have been loving your content even more lately! Please share more of this, grocery/meal content and Christian mom lifestyle vids ❤
I love homeschooling my 3 & 4 year old, it's so fun and rewarding!
For me and my family, we personally would like to send our kids to public/private schools, however… I do want to homeschool them to some degree. My oldest is 1 1/2, second is 6 months. So it’s early but I’m planning and reading a lot on how to teach my babes (as time goes on) as much as I can that is to their level and comfortability. This was helpful in some ways, thank you. 😊
im so glad this was helpful 🤎
Thanks for sharing all these details! It looks like you really make school fun for your kids!
I legit love this so much 😊I’m in the same boat with a four month old girl and 2.5 year old boy and almost 4 year old girl in February. I was just praying about this and we’ve stopped and started homeschooling but all this pressure to perform I’ve just felt so stuck so thsi was really nice as a reminder
Wow I love your homeschool set up! Beautiful and well put together
I absolutely loved this video. I have a 13 month old daughter and another daughter on the way. I want to start early, plus I prepare way in advance. I’m looking to start with basics next school year for my oldest daughter & bringing in my youngest as she’s old enough!
You're so well spoken God bless you! ❤
Thank you, this helps so much!! I am wanting to set up homeschooling at our home for the grandkids!! This is very motivational. 😃
I love that homeschooling is an option. In Germany, preschool is not mandatory, but you have to put them into a school 1st grade the latest. Homeschooling is not allowed. It doesn't mean that I would homeschool, but I like that you have the choice ❤️
